Malls are deserted due to niggerism.
Well, not only that, but for the most part there's nothing to do at the malls from what I figure.
Unless you want ~80% of the stores you visit to be clothing stores, that is. The only two saving graces for my local mall is that it has a (n overpriced) bowling alley, arcade and bar that's open until 2 AM... and a branch of the library.
Though, to be fair, I did get a discount on a decent knife at one store, but it was almost all clothing stores. Even the food court was garbage, and it wasn't because of the Clown or anything. That left the mall years ago.
